Samsung washer: Better before Black Friday

Despite this discount, the Black Friday sale price is more expensive than earlier this year.

We’ve been checking the price of this particular washer at J.C. Penney once a week since February. We’ve seen its price range from as low as $749 to as high as $1,199. Here are some of the lowest prices we’ve seen:

Feb. 10: $749.

Feb. 16: $749.

Feb. 23: $749.

April 6: $849.

April 13: $849.

Nov. 2: $845.

Nov. 9: $845.

Black Friday’s $845 price is lower than many months out of the year, but still higher than February. It’s also the exact same price J.C. Penney sold the washer for on Nov. 2 and Nov. 9 — weeks before Black Friday.

Dyson V8 Absolute: Better before Black Friday

Macy’s will sell the Dyson V8 Absolute stick vacuum for $379.99 this Black Friday. It retails for $499.99 at Dyson.

This Black Friday sale price at Macy’s is significantly lower than we’ve seen during other holiday sales during the year.

For comparison, check out the price of the vacuum on various holidays throughout 2018 at Macy’s:

Presidents Day: $449.99.

Memorial Day: $499.99.

Fourth of July: $499.99.

Prime Day: $499.99.

Columbus Day: $499.99.

Veterans Day: $499.99.

Black Friday: $379.99.

However, a handful of other retailers, including Amazon, Walmart and Jet, sold the Dyson V8 for just $360 on Veterans Day. On this holiday, shoppers could have snagged the vacuum for less than it’ll cost at Macy’s on Black Friday.

Xbox One X: Better on Black Friday

Walmart will sell the Xbox One X 1TB Console for $399 on Black Friday. That’s a savings of $100, compared with the product’s $499 MSRP.

That’s also the cheapest price we’ve seen for the console at Walmart, Target and Best Buy based on our tracking of Presidents Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Prime Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day.
